I worship the very ground he walks on (just kidding, don't rat me out to my
Bishop). Deter was and still is the best quarterback the Y ever had. HE was
the whole package. Leadership, grit, toughness, determination, brains, etc. He
was even better than McMahon.

Interesting that there are undertones and flat out cries for Detmer to join the
coaching staff at the Y. You fickle fans, give him three seasons of slightly
above average performance, and you will forget all of the good he has done for
your school as a player. I loved watching Detmer as a kid. If he is as smart
as the article states, he will stay away from Provo and the worst fair weather
fans in America.

As a Ute fan Ty Detmer drove me crazy, I couldn't see him leave Provo soon
enough. That should about sum it up ... the guy was a phenomenal college
QB, one of the best of all time. On top of that he has always conducted himself
with class and humility. This is a great honor and Ty is more deserving of it
than most. Congrats to Ty Detmer and BYU fans everywhere who get to celebrate
his accomplishments.

Another Cougar in the hall of fame. Joins a bunch of others with more sure to
come over time. Congratulations Ty.

As for him going to BYU as the
head coach or even o-coordinator are concerned, what makes people think he is
ready for those positions? What makes people think he would be great at them? I
mean it is possible he could be great at either or both but we have no way of
knowing that. If Bronco wanted to put him on his staff I think qb coach would be
a good place to start and work his way up from there. Obviously his football IQ
is high but you don't just hop into those positions and expect to have
success, look at brian johnson at utah, that has turned into a joke. Even with
experience it doesn't always work out, Doman had several years experience
as a qb coach and it sure hasn't translated to him being a good
o-coordinator, yet.

It takes time and experience to do those things
but it would sure be fun to see him get started on it and succeed at them over
time.

The good ole days of BYU football when the Y had a QB who could throw for 300+
per game and BYU could match up with anyone in the nation....including National
Champ Miami. What a great game! Detmer was the real deal. Undersized as he was
he won the Heisman plus played 11 years in the NFL. It helped to have Norm Chow
as coordinator too!!

Funny how Utah-related topics always creep into your
comments. And at that, your comment is once again a bit over the top. You wrote:
"look at brian johnson at utah, that has turned into a joke."

Calling any new coach a joke when he was dealt a tough hand in his first year
is not only unfair but can only be based on extremely unrealistic expectations.
Let's remember that Utah had a completely rebuilt O-line, and injured
1st-string RB, and ended up starting a 3rd-string freshman quarterback while
competing in the 2nd best rated conference in the country.

In other
words, no one knows much about Brian Johnson as an O-coordinator just yet. My
OPINION is that Brian actually did a pretty decent job with what he had to work
with and seemed to progress as the season went along. That said, my guess is
you'll start telling us that far more Utah "fans" (LOL) are calling
for Brain Johnson to be replaced than there are Cougar fans calling for
Doman's head, right? Over on SLTrib of course.
